A client has requested a feature in the form of a shop that is run by the users buying and selling but does not require admin. The only thing I can think of is to use a forum or auction extension. Does anyone know of a better way please?

- I can't think of anything like this that wouldn't require admin / maintenance of some kind. There just isn't anything outside of fantasy land where you wouldn't have to do work on it at some point. Forums and Applications that are unregulated can get overrun by spam, have abusive users or people selling illegal items or worse - you'd have to keep an eye on it no matter what. Just my opinion.
- The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

No problem. Clients want sites that do everything for cheap that they can make money on with no effort required on their part. If such a thing existed we'd all be out of a job.
